Whew! That was a lesson or twelve. I’ve moved servers, (if anyone even noticed and I finally got it all fixed up tonight. I feel like I’ve come back home after being lost for awhile out in the middle of the unknown. Technology – it’s a blessing and a curse on me, to be sure.…

Give Wool A Chance
“This is a great article”:http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2008/01/07/in_praise_of_cheap_wool.html about wool. Seriously, read it. I’m considering contacting Stephanie for permission to put a copy of it in with “our shop’s”:http://yarnalong.com next newsletter at the end of this month. The mid-month clues are up for the “Monthly Dishcloths Yahoo Group”:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MonthlyDishcloths/ and I’m enjoying this one as the clues come out,…
The river on a clear Saturday
This major waterway, not at its prettiest this time of year is on the high side. It’s only a block from the “shop”:http://yarnalong.com and only a few blocks from the house. I’ve always enjoyed forms of water. I don’t come down here and enjoy this one often enough. It’s lined with great parks and sidewalks.…
“Speaking” of decorating footballs
I survived my first public speaking engagement. I was *SO* freaked out about it. I am amazed I made it there. I am just not the type to stand up in front of even a small crowd of 60 people and talk. No, not me. But I did it, and I survived. I wasn’t booed,…

My sick Boohopper is beside me
She is getting so big, so fast. It seems like yesterday she was just 9 months old and we were putting the beanbag frog with rubber feet for teething on her head. She giggled so! That is where she got her nickname. And now here she is, grown up into a beautiful 9 year old.…
Trying to go up when I’m feeling so down
We had a bad blow-out with the Boy tonight. Letting go is *TOUGH*! So, in meandering around, trying to keep my mind off of it for a little while and to find something uplifting I happened to click on the link in the side bar under “On this Day… 5 Years Ago”:http://starzabove.com/?month=2003-01-08 Go ahead and…
